Here's the full Rockstar spiel for this week (which they're calling "Battle Week"):

NEW IN GTA ONLINE: CANIS KAMACHO 4X4, BATTLE WEEK BONUSES AND MORE

Itchy trigger fingers across Los Santos and Blaine County, prepare yourselves for Battle Week: whether you’re armed to the teeth and under fire in Hardest Target, on the hunt for an Insurgent on the shrinking perimeter in Motor Wars or dodging shotguns in the dark in Slashers, Battle Week brings 2X cash and RP for those happy to go down fighting.

Plus, get key Battle Week discounts on the Chernobog mobile ballistic missile launcher, the Avenger - a flying fortress with a workshop to upgrade your weapons - and take advantage of Mk II discounts and savings on some of Ammu-Nation’s most popular armaments. All this as well as the release of a brand new rugged off-roader to add to your collection of vehicular bullies.

OUT NOW: CANIS KAMACHO

The Canis Kamacho is a throwback to the glory days of the American 4X4 - delivering the reliability of a pickup and the resilience of a small battleship without the compromise of aerodynamics. With a rock solid chassis and the suitably Spartan interior of a real off-roader, look down on your friends from on high in the Canis Kamacho. Now available at Southern San Andreas Super Autos.

LOG IN TO UNLOCK: BLACK AMMU-NATION IN-GAME TEE

Protect your right to life, liberty and hot lead with the Black Ammu-Nation Tee - a free unlock for those who log in to GTA Online during Battle Week, now through February 12th.

DOUBLE GTA$ & RP OPPORTUNITIES

Motor Wars: Parachute into a warzone with a pistol and a prayer in Motor Wars and face off on the ground with heavy arms and Weaponized Vehicles. The longer you and your team survive, the smaller the field of combat, until players are forced into full-on confrontation. Just remember to pull your chute or you’re done before you start.

Hardest Target: There’s a bullseye on your back that everyone can see, but the hot seat changes every minute. Neutralize the opposing team’s Target while protecting your own to put points on the board and bring home the win.

Slashers: Maybe you’ve watched enough movies to outsmart a maniac, but how about a whole team of them? Slashers pits a mob of Shotgun-wielding lunatics against the Hunted - with teams swapping roles every 60 seconds until one side has been wiped out entirely.

Occupy: Two teams fight for control of three Capture Zones amid flying rocket bikes and a host of deadly Weaponized Vehicles. Each precious second your team holds a Zone counts towards victory, but keep an eye out for unwanted visitors looking to steal away your hard-earned land.

DISCOUNTS ON VEHICLES, WEAPONS AND MKII UPGRADES

Through February 12th, prep for Doomsday the right way: with deadly accuracy and maximum explosive impact. From hefty discounts on Warstock favorites such as the Mammoth Avenger to half-price Ammo across the board, it's a great time to be in the arms game.

There's also 30% off all Aircraft Weapons fitted in your Hangar Workshop - and for the true prepper, take 25% off the Security Room upgrade in your Facility and get access to your very own set of deployable goons.

PREMIUM RACE & TIME TRIAL SCHEDULE (FEBRUARY 6TH - 12TH)

Premium Race: "Bumblebee" (Locked to Rocket Voltic)

Take the Rocket Voltic through a series of gut-wrenching jumps on a tunneled track in the clouds during this week’s high stakes Premium Race, Bumblebee. Premium Races are your chance to test your skills and race for big cash. Ante up and compete in a Rockstar-created Stunt Race where the top three finishers earn GTA$ and all participants get Triple RP regardless of where they place. Launch Premium Races through the Quick Job App on your in-game phone or via the yellow corona at Legion Square.

Time Trial: "Route 68"

Take a trip across the great state of San Andreas on historic Route 68, from the sleepy towns in the heart of the Grand Senora Desert to the shore of the Pacific Ocean. To take a shot at the Time Trial, set a waypoint to the marker on your in-game map and enter via the purple corona. Beat par time and you'll be duly rewarded with GTA$ & RP.

Got to try out the Stromberg against Oppressor griefers for the first time last night. It lived up to its billing as the correct counter, was 3-0 head to head. The tracking on the Stromberg rockets is incredible, they'll just about do 180s to chase the Oppressor

If it did a few more mph when submerged I would consider buying it to do some underwater exploration

Yeah it's the same speed as the submersibles unfortunately ('arse slow'), only without the automatic ascend/descend controls. On the plus side though, it has torpedoes

Fun fact: if you're near the surface you can lock onto players who are out of the water and fire torpedoes at them (which will track them and fly through the air), and they won't be able to lock onto you in return.

I'd also forgotten just how much detail Rockstar put into the underwater environments, Okii and I were just cruising around underwater and finding all sorts of cool stuff we never knew was there.

So a new way to sort out the griefers then. A squad of Strombergs could be hilarious.

I've always wanted to have a look around Humane labs, after the heist you get a quick look.. quite deep with some caves maybe.

GTA Online Discussion

It's that special time of year when crimes of passion are rife in Los Santos. Singles, couples and polygamists alike — celebrate this week with the introduction of the Vapid Hustler to Legendary Motorsport's inventory, plus debaucherous discounts on favorites from Valentine's past and a host of money-making opportunities to get your juices flowing.

OUT NOW: THE VAPID HUSTLER

The Vapid Hustler is a shining example of what's possible when old-world glamour slinks up next to the modern muscle car and asks "My garage or yours?"

When you see that running board swooping low over the front wheels, that high-set radiator grill and the holder for your cigarette holder, you'll feel like you're back in the 1920s. But then you see the carbon steel reinforcements to the chassis, the turbo charger and the bullbar, and you realize you're somewhere else altogether.

Love (and shrapnel) is in the air. Through February 19th, indulge in a spread of activities with Double GTA$ & RP:

Till Death Do Us Part: Up to four pairs of star-crossed lovers take part in the ultimate GTA Online quadruple date: each couple has one life between them, so remember to look out for your partner - if they die, so do you.

Slasher: The shotgun-wielding Slasher stalks up to seven Hunted, equipped only with flashlights. After three minutes, the Hunted get shotguns of their own to turn the tables on the Slasher.

Resurrection: Nothing says ‘team building exercise’ like bringing your buddy back into the game by shooting some chump on the other team in the back of the head. But remember that it goes both ways - until you’ve wiped them out completely, they can always come back.

Deadline: Suit up and outmaneuver the enemy while mounted upon a blazingly fast Nagasaki Shotaro. Emitting a devastating beam of light in your wake as you ride through the arena, competitors unfortunate enough to come into contact with your trail meet an immediate and fiery end.

Lost vs. Damned: It’s Angels against Devils in the ultimate battle of the soul. Each match flips between day and night for 60 seconds at a clip, with advantages including regenerated Armor and Health and improved weapon options depending on the time – day for the Angels and night for the Devils.

And share the love this Valentine’s Day with Double GTA$ Bodyguard & Associates Salaries for your Organization members.

DISCOUNTS ON VEHICLES, CLOTHING, WEAPONRY, & PROPERTIES

If you missed your chance last year, take advantage of 25% off the Gusenberg Sweeper and add a vintage SMG to your armory.

You'll also find sweet deals on love nests in the Vinewood Hills, discounts on classic rides and more through February 19th:

Vehicle Discounts

Albany Roosevelt (Sports Classic) – 25% off

Albany Roosevelt Valor (Sports Classic) – 25% off

HVY Barrage (Military) – 35% off (Buy It Now & Trade Price)

Nagasaki Shotaro (Motorcycle) – 25% off (available for purchase after completing a round of Deadline)

While your significant other may have little to no regard for your wants and needs, your Executive Assistant is forever loyal. They're also feeling extra generous this Valentine's day with a 25% discount on Executive Assistant Services. And to help you catch the eye of that lucky someone, Benny is offering makeovers at a discount, with 25% off a custom Upgrade at Benny’s Original Motor Works.

GTA$ GIFT COMING SOON

Jump into GTA Online starting Friday, February 16th to claim a GTA$ award in March. More details coming Friday.

PREMIUM RACE & TIME TRIAL

Premium Race: “Turbine” (Locked to Off-Road)

Turbine is an off-road slalom featuring bracing curves and jumps through the deadly airspace of an industrial wind farm.

Premium Races are your chance to test your skills and race for big cash. Ante up and compete in a Rockstar-created Stunt Race where the top three finishers earn GTA$ and all participants get Triple RP regardless of where they place. Launch Premium Races through the Quick Job App on your in-game phone or via the yellow corona at Legion Square.

Time Trial: “LSIA”

Make a mad dash across the city from Los Santos International Airport to the foothills of Mount Chiliad in LSIA. To take a shot at this Time Trial, set a waypoint to the marker on your in-game map and enter via the purple corona. Beat par time and you'll be duly rewarded with GTA$ & RP.

Tax season is upon us and with 2017's population growth, the San Andreas Treasury Department is happy to report a new stimulus for all citizens - hustlers, triggers, shot callers and kingpins alike. Plus, take advantage of new state-wide GTA$ rebate program to spend on anything in GTA Online; from sensible investments like Executive Offices to submarine-sports car hybrids like the Stromberg.

Simply log in to GTA Online at any point between February 16th and 26th to qualify for a GTA$250,000 stimulus bonus. Also, all GTA$ spent in GTA Online between February 16th and 26th will get you a 10% rebate (up to GTA$1M cash back). Then come back after February 27th to claim your GTA$ stimulus bonus and GTA$ rebate.

All GTA$250,000 stimulus bonuses and GTA$ rebates will arrive in your Maze Bank account between February 27th and March 6th.

Vapid Hustler was an absolute treat to modify and drive. They nailed it.

Put into sports classics I think... it could be up there on the leader boards

I thought it might be up your alley

If it did get put into Sports Classics that's a shame, the Sports Classics class is way faster than the Muscle Cars class (about 2 seconds a lap quicker at the top). That reminds me, I'll need to check if the Broughy leaderboards need to be updated.

EDIT: Yep, needs to be updated for Neon and Hustler.

EDIT2: Hustler is in muscle class. Not very good around a track, but second highest top speed in the class.

With double money on them this week, is anyone up for doing some hangar missions?

With the cooldown, it makes most sense to take turns with someone else who also has a hangar, but if not then you can also do Hangar missions interspersed with VIP Work. The hangar missions are a lot of fun, especially if you haven't had a chance to fly all of the new smuggler's run aircraft.

Count me in.

I purchased a yacht. Now just to figure out what to do with it.

Sweet! I'll be online in the evenings, probably around 8 PM AEDT (7 PM your time) or something like that. If I'm in GTA but set to offline on the PSN, it's because I'm still AFK (on the surveillance cameras in my bunker).

Sit in the spa and smoke a cigar

Land a helicopter in the spa

Land a helicopter in the spa while someone else is sitting in the spa and smoking a cigar

Try to land an Oppressor on the deck

Start the Piracy Prevention VIP Work to pay for the insurance charge on your destroyed Oppressor

Get drunk at the bar and stagger around the ship

Call in some entertainment

Invite random people from the lobby to your yacht. I've never done this but it seems to be very much the done thing.
